| Here’s what you’ll need to run Mass Effect 3 on PC | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 19th, 2012 | Mass Effect 3’s coming to PC soon - and though it’ll be locked to EA’s Origin service, that’s hardly going to cause boycott, right? It is Mass Effect 3, after all. If you’re getting it for PC (and half of you moaning about Origin will likely end up getting it anyway) here’s the sort of hardware you’ll need to experience the end ... [»] |

| Mass Effect 3’s Shepard to be “deeper” | 
Geoffrey Tim - January 16th, 2012 | Though news that Mass Effect 3 for the PC would be tethered to Origin might have put you off, but if you play the game for its role playing, you might be drawn back in by the fact that this time around, Shepard is going to be a much deeper character.“One of the things we wanted to do in Mass Effect 3,” said lead Mass Effect writer Mac Walters “was deepen Shepard as a character, ...

| Want to save $100 on Kinect for Windows? | 
Gavin Mannion - January 13th, 2012 | You may have heard that Microsoft announced the Kinect for Windows at CES this year which is great all round until the price was announced. For some absurd reason they’ve decided to sell it at $250 on the PC which is a $100 increase over the same device for the Xbox ... [»] |

| The Lazygamer Awards 2011 – Best Driving Game | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 20th, 2011 | Racing games, as far as I’m concerned are all the same - basically slightly interactive screen-savers - where steering left or right allows you to see different sections of the track. Or wall, as is usually the case with me. Were it up to me, Mario Kart 7 would take this category without the slightest hint of competition - but we do this thing by ... [»] |

| Anyone up for a game of Skyrim Kinect? | 
Darryn Bonthuys - December 7th, 2011 | You've got to hand it to the PC community, there are some real geniuses lurking behind the monitors, with their attention focused purely on gaming. One clever PC player has managed to combine the Kinect and Skyrim, using the device to create a first person environment where you can actually, physically dragon-shout, while waggling your upper appendages to simulate combat.
A bluetooth headset, ... [»] |

| Sony aiming the PS3 at families next year | 
Geoffrey Tim - December 6th, 2011 | The PlayStation 3 is a core games machine for core gamers. At least it is right now. Though it has its fair share of family oriented games, it’s managed to shirk off being labelled as a kiddies machine. That may change next year, as it seems Sony plans to focus on families and younger gamers in 2012."You will probably see us taking the console more towards a slightly younger demographic - ... [»] |

| Rabbids Alive & Kicking Review – Kill The Waaaaabbit | 
Gavin Mannion - December 2nd, 2011 | As soon as we heard that a new new Rabbids game was heading our way for review I instantly volunteered to take it home for a test drive, I’ve had a bit of a love affair with the Rabbids for a few years now (don’t judge me) and while the games haven’t evolved much in that time ...

| Dance games are the new Guitar Hero | 
Geoffrey Tim - November 30th, 2011 | Guitar Hero is essentially dead. People, for some reason, got really tired of plastic instrument-based music rhythm games and sales of the games and their associated peripherals dwindled down to pretty much nothing. Even the rather superb Rock Band 3 sold less than 5000 copies on all formats at launch. Maybe it’s because of all the instruments, because peripheral-free Dance and fitness Games have proven that people still want music based ... [»] |

| Microsoft wants to bolster its exclusives library | 
Geoffrey Tim - November 25th, 2011 | There’s no denying that when it comes to AAA exclusives, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is falling behind the pack. Sony’s PlayStation 3 has a wealth of exclusives - games like Killzone, Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, God of War (and the list goes on). Nintendo has all that first-part goodness; Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Donkey Kong (and that list goes on and on too) while the 360 really only has ... [»] |

| New Xbox Dashboard coming 6 December. Maybe | 
Geoffrey Tim - November 22nd, 2011 | Some of you might be using the new Xbox Dashboard already, having been plucked from a group of hopefuls to be in the preview program. You’re under NDA, so you can’t tell us what it’s like. That’s ok though, we’ll get to test out the new dashboard - along with everybody else - on December 6.The new Dashboard - which features the “metro” user ... [»] |

| Family Game Night 4: The Game Show review – Bored Games | 
Abigail Holden - November 15th, 2011 | This is the fourth offering in Hasbro’s Family Game Night series. Turns out it is based on an actual game show, but having never seen or heard of this game show, it’s hard to make comparisons. In this digital version, there is a red team and a yellow team, and you can play either with the controller or using a Kinect.
Family Game Night 4 features five different mini-games that make up an ‘episode’ ... [»] |
